When I bought one of my does I knew she had some lice, since I have battle with them before it was not a big deal to me, I put de on her and my other goat and sprinkled it in the pens and sleeping areas and redid that a couple weeks later. Well it wast til about two weeks ago that I noticed we had another outbreak on our hands cause I can see lice eggs on the baby kids. So I put de on everyone and the grounds and also for good measure topspotted everyone with neem oil too. I'm thinking ts will do the trick and I will redo in a week and then again in another week to make sure we get rid of these nasties. My question pertains to my in milk doe who birthed twins 4 weeks ago, she has multiple spots where her hair is falling out and her coat looks terrible, I'm not sure if it's lice related or maybe the de dried her skin out. Should I be concerned about any other conditions that could cause this? None of the others have bald spots. I'm at the moment down only natural remedies to strengthen the herd and help them fight off things so not interested in chemical methods right now, just wanting to make sure I didn't miss anything else that couple be causing the bald spots.
I'm going to get them some black oil sunflower seeds when I get to the feed store next to help their skin and coat health, also I brush momma doe daily.
Thanks!
